Just found this out off another board

''The Collegiate Church of St Mary &c was the 'parish church' of Manchester from c 1215 to 1847, when the Diocese of Manchester was created (out of the Diocese of Chester), and the Collegiate Church became Manchester Cathedral''

 Hi Cissy,  Very many thanks for all your research.  Being in NZ it is sometimes hard to access all the stuff available, especially from home.
I have come to the conclusion that you're correct with almost all of the records you unearthed.  In the interim I have scouted around and found another birth for Joseph and Hannah - James 1812 (possibly died as a babe).  Also found wot I think is their marriage in Prestwich (28 Oct 1807) - Hannah's maiden name being Wilde - think daughter of Joseph and Mary Wilde (nee peacock) and Hannah born at Royton and christened on 20.8.1786 at Oldham.

Still having no luck in finding wot happened to their son Bernard (born 1813).  Know he was alive and in England for 1841 census - a visitor at James and Esthers home that night, together with his sisters Levinah and Alice. 

Found wot I suspect is death of Joseph Wilde Radcliffe (born 1837 to James & Esther) - 1839 in Cholton.

Also think that several of Joseph & Hannah's children died young -
James born 1812, Matilde, Emma 1816, for instance.  Yet to do any research on Major born 1820.

Again many thanks for your great help

Firstly here is the 1841 Census for the Family.
1841 Census
Drake St, Castleton,
Rochdale, Lancs
HO107/550/15/Rochdale
Joseph RADCLIFFE, 55, Ind
Hannah, 50
Ellen, 30
Matilda, 35
Major, 20
Levina, 15
Clement, 15
Emma, 5
All born in County
+ in same Household are;
William WOOD, 30, Cordwainer, N
Harriett, 30, N
William, 11mths, N

1861 Census
45 Hyde St, Ardwick, Lancs
RG9/2869/72/37
Hannah RADCLIFFE, 74, Head, Widow, born Royton, Lancs
Levina, 37, Daug, Unm, born Royton
Alice, 33, Daug, Unm, born Rochdale
Emma A, 28, Daug, Unm, born Rochdale
Christina, 7, Grand/Daug, born Hollinwood

1891 Census
Garburgh House,
Manley Road,
Withington, Lancashire
RG12/3163/42/25

Thomas DYSON, 56, Head, Mar, Smallware Merchant, born Huddersfield, Yorks
EMMA ANN Dyson, 58, Wife, Mar, born Rochdale, Lancs
Amy Dyson, 23, Daug, Unm, born Manchester, Lancs
Leonard Dyson, 20, Son, Unm, Clerk in Shipping House, born Manchester, Lancs
Clara Dyson, 18, Daug, Unm, born Manchester, Lancs
LEVINA RADCLIFFE, 68, Sister in Law, Unm,  born High Compton, Lancs
Hannah DAVIES, 21, Servant, general Servant, born Montgomeryshire, Wales

So Levina seems to have never Married and Emma Ann is Mrs Dyson;
Married March 1877, Oldham, 8d 731 (FreeBMD)
So looks like Thomas may have been a Widower by Childrens ages.

1851 Census EMMA is visiting Brother MAJOR, Wife Mary A born Sheffield, Yorks, in Broughton, Lancs. His Mother in Law is Elizabeth PARTON.
They have 1 Child, Rosa E age 1.
Cant find a Marriage though.

Hi Trish, Found some Radcliffe F/trees on Ancestry, but I am sceptical of some of the info and connections - needs further investigation.  A couple of them go back a further 8 generations from Joseph - back to 1500's!  I am in the middle of trying to verify some of this.  Cheers! :P

I know it's been a long time since anything was added to this thread, but i found this the other day
it's a possibility for Bernard:

1870 US Census

Name: B Radcliffe
Estimated Birth Year: 1814
Gender: Male
Age in 1870: 56y
Color (white, black, mulatto, chinese, Indian): White
Birthplace: England
Home in 1870: Iowa, United States
  Household Gender Age
   B Radcliffe  M 56y
 E T Radcliffe  F 37y
 M A Radcliffe  F 24y
 Jane Radcliffe  F 19y
 Ellen Radcliffe  F 17y
 Isabla Radcliffe  F 15y
 B F Radcliffe  M 13y
 Charlotte Radcliffe  F 5y
 Jessie Radcliffe  F 2y
 R Thompson  M 22y
 John Thompson  M 19y

his occupation is Farmer, but the other writing is too light to read..

Hi Cissy172,  I was very surprised to see your posting after such a long time - I have been working on other branches of the family and haven't done any research on the Radcliffe line for some months.  Yes I agree that this is a "poss"
for Bernard - would certainly explain his vanishing after 1841.

In perusing wot you have found it looks as tho it could be a second marriage for him.  First of all there is the large age gap between husband and wife, then the gap from son age 13 to daughter age 5.  Going on age of eldest listed daughter, he would have married first around 1844/5 at about 32 years old.  I will trawl thru marriages in UK again, but he possibly married in USA?
Many thanks for your info

Frustration - trawled the marriages in Britain in 1840-1845 having regard to age of eldest daughter - no luck!  Can anyone see "passage to USA during that time?
Ta in advance
